"Is the Bible far more earthy and crude than we often realise? In a provocative and
thoroughly enjoyable study, Roland Boer covers the Bible's testicular logic, the spermatic
spluttering pen(ise)s of the scribal prophets, the moist and juicy sensuality of the
Song of Songs, and paraphilias, whether prostitution or pornography, lascivious rabbis,
masturbating prophets, bestiality, or necrophilia. The book strikes a fine balance
between serious, rigorous scholarship and a close attention to matters of sex, masculinity,
and carnal delights - precisely those delights that escape many readers of the Bible"--
